Then check out this website www.mariestopes.org.uk where there is lots of information and a list of centres all round the UK. These are people who specially deal in unplanned pregnancy (including lots of teenagers like you) and will be able to give you advice and practical help. If you can't get to a centre then you MUST go to a doctor. You need to make sure everything is ok in terms of your health. The longer you put off dealing with this the less choice you will have about any of it - every day counts. Perhaps you want to keep the baby, but after a certain time in your pregnancy you will have to for sure, no choice. Also it will be a lot better if you tell your parents rather than they find out because they or someone else sees your bump so it would be good for you to get info (even just reading that site) and have an idea what you want to do about things. Likely they will rant and rave for a bit, but they will calm down and it will be ok.
As Dr Psych said, its also very important to sort this before school as otherwise you and/or your baby could get hurt in PE etc.
Take care - and don't keep this to yourself any longer, it won't go away.

If you know for certain (by taking a pregnancy test) that you are pregnant then you need to tell your parents, but also see a doctor. I am sure your parents will be unhappy (no responsible parent would pat you on the back for your achievement). They may argue about it, row with you about it and try to persuade you to have an abortion but the choice is up to you. If you are going to have an abortion you need to see a doctor right away (with or without your parents knowing). If you want to keep the baby, see your GP and get booked in for antenatal care. The school will need to know when you go back in September as they have to plan your educational needs around your pregnancy (as well as doing a health & safety assessment). You are not the first 15 year old girl to get into this situation, and you won't be the last. Your parents will no doubt calm down after a while and support you. If your parents did put you on the streets then call social services or the NSPCC. As a child in the eyes of the law, the local authority have a duty of care towards you. This means they would have to find you a care placement. Good luck.

Do you want to keep the baby or not?
If you dont there are many clinics around the uk to have an abortion, sometimes its as simple as a pill. BUt it depends how far gone you are.
Speak to your cousin, they will make you feel better and de-stress you. Know your options.
